Is there anything better than a crispy plate of fries with all your favorite toppings?  If so, I can’t think of it at the moment because all I can think about is digging into more of the cheesy goodness that comes along with these amazing Carne Asada Fries!  And yes, I used a bag of frozen fries because I’m not totally crazy ;).  There’s only so much time in a day and if we are making homemade cheese sauce and guac, the fries can come from a bag.  If you need a recommendation on some good ones, Alexia never disappoints.

What is the best meat for carne asada?

  • usually skirt steak but flank steak is another great option
  • carne asada basically means grilled meat, like the recipe I shared a while back, but if you need something even easier, I also have what I like to call my cheater version that I make in the slow cooker

    Hey Jennifer, if you’d serve your gorgeous looking skillet with us, my daughter would spoon the guac, I would snack all those yummy fries and my hubby would deeply enjoy your grilled carne with cheeses sauce. …and we would all be happy:)

    Oh my gosh my other half would go bananas if I made this for a meal or snack. And let’s be honest, I would go bananas too! Just pinned and can’t wait to try these out sometime!
